Hi Gollum! I love your new dishes! The little birdhouse is so cute. A flock of birds from the thrift store would be descending upon my house to go with them, I'm afraid. I love your new napkins as well, especially the fringed ones! I never think of trying eBay. You've got me curious. Have a great day!...Debbie

Good Morning Gollum... Been RVin' with friends and haven't been on much lately... Great post this morning... Love the dishes and napkins... Very nice... I miss everyone and just had to get on to say hi... Have a great day

Michael Lee, Those bird house dishes are so cute! Now I want some. Love all of your napkins, especially the dishcloth napkins - so unique. I look forward to seeing all of the wonderful tablescapes with these purchases. laurie

Gollum, There's something not quite right about those dishes. Oh, I know what it is! They need to be surrounded by my kitchen!!! They are adorable. I'm NOT letting myself wander over to ebay! I refuse! I have no will power. I'm just going to enjoy yours. Can't wait to see how you accessorize these beauties! I vote polka dots!!!!

Good morning my late night posting friend! :-) You know I have a chat room. We late nighters should meet there one night, or should I say "morning." The birdhouse dishes are wonderful. I might have to follow your trend and buy some more napkins. My napkin drawer does not runneth over for some reason. Why are pretty napkins hard to find? Anyway, trying to get my thoughts together for Tablescape Tuesday but the only thing I have the energy for is Chinette. Think anyone would be impressed? LOL Have a great day and rest of your weekend! Hugs, Barb

You go girl! Ebay awaits you. The story of young Bandwith was quite funny but I hope your repair bill isn't horrific. Dishes are adorable as are the various napkins. There is a layer of frozen fog covering our trees this morning - quite lovely.

Wow; you did go hog wild. I have 8 dishes of the bird house and use them in the summer for a nice dish for luches. I love the napkins with the fringe; they are all just wonderful. I wanta go shopping with you! Have a great sunday.Blossom

Isn't it funny how you only had intentions on looking and maybe buying one set of napkins and then that just didn't seem quite enough. I am on a napkin hunt myself and have been haunting the thrift stores for linen napkins and have found quite a few,it is a treasure hunt.Ebay and thrift store shopping is like the ever ready bunny it keeps going and going.I think that is how collections start and then we wind up donating them back and the cycle begins for someone else, the gift that keeps on giving hehe.

These plates are delightful, I just looked for the "Birdhouse" tea-set (for an outdoor cream tea) I found the tea pot which is so cute and the sugar bowl and creamer, but I could not find any cups and saucers only mugs, they even had a pretty cake stand. What pretty napkins oh the endless combinations. your valentines breakfast tray set-up is perfect.

Oh Gollum I love these new dishes...how cute our those bird houses and you know I just seen yesterday at Target these little bird salt and peppers shaker that would be darling with these plates..oh go check them out $4.99...now the napkins..you did go a little wild...but what I can say I did this with napkins rings this last months bought for sets..I am trying to find some cute type Easter dishes right now..where I will put them have not a clue girl!! under the beds are already crowded ha ha!! Barn is packed to..Len told me last week I did to do a yard sail before I buy any more stuff..my daughter just left this morning and girl I had her SUV loaded with stuff...she looked like a Low Rider leaving the drive way..And Gollum I do most of my shopping on line..as all the stores are 65 miles from me..so the man in Brown shows up here all the time...have a healthy day dear friend...hugs and smiles Gloria

Oh my goodness, G! I so love the plates and the SHELL napkins are my favorite too. I sure wish I had a bigger budget for so many pretties! Just tonight my DH told me he didn't think we needed any more dishes or placemats.......HA!!!! That'll be the day! Can't wait to see your new dishes in a future post....Hugs, Pinky

Oh, you did good! Love your new china and napkins! :-) I'm soooo tempted to buy that lacey cake pedestal from eBay...you are a bad influence! No, a good influence! No, a bad influence...oh shoot, I can't make up my mind. :-)

Tooooo cute, and I'm sure it makes people in snow areas "optimistic" that spring WILL eventually come! They're "happy"!!!~~~~ ANNND, I simple ADORE the simplicity of the napkins for the new gray china... makes me think of the Swedes~ You know, how they decorate so "softly", often with just white & little dabs of soft color... nothing pretentious... and it's just magical... what yummy, quiet elegance will be at the table when you set it! Can't WAIT to see that too! THANKS, Linda

I love,love, love the seashell napkins!!! I also am in need of some of the filigree cupcake wrappers for a wedding I'm planning in April. I'll check amazon. I enjoy visiting your blog often and would love to have you visit me as well. Please leave a little note so I know you've stopped by. Be sure to check out my It's A Southern Thing post while you are there.~Elizabeth at Grand Occasions.

I cannot believe the beautiful seashell napkins! Just what I'm looking for (whee!). I found some beautiful accent plates that look like a close up of seashells at Pier 1 for $1.18 each (SCORE!) and then some pretty brown linen placemats to go with them for $1.48 each (DOUBLE SCORE!!). Then saw your beautiful napkins and knew I had to have them to complete my muted seashore look. I've got tons of stuff to use for a tablescape with the shell plates so for $30 I got a great new look for the table this spring. I love me a bargain!
